In contrast, ALPK1 mutations cause two human diseases: the ALPK1[T237M] and ALPK1[Y254C] mutations underlie ROSAH syndrome (retinal dystrophy, optic nerve oedema, splenomegaly, anhidrosis, and migraine headache), while the ALPK1[V1092A] mutation accounts for 45% of spiradenoma and 30% of spiradenocarcinoma cases studied. Here, ALPK1 is linked to inherited retinal dystrophy.
